180 jumps total, abot 130 freefly jumps, head up/head down, about 10 'coaching' jumps..Haven't jumped in about a month due to plain's motor change.. I'm very pleased with my FF'ing now, very stable sit, very confident in headdown, stable docks, carving, eagles...

Just waiting for the first post he makes as a greenie.. -Lauri

Clickety Click! Edit1: Link straight to samples.. (just noticed that it doesn't work, click appenzeller echo -> cd's, tune samples -> laugh.. Edit2: LMAO!! jodledehijuujodledehijuujodledehijuujodledehijuu I think the music doesn't quite capture the thrill of skydiving..

Here... -Lauri

clicky I'm no rigger, but I think you attach the bridle trough the loop, and ignore the metal ring..At least this is how it's done on my canopy.. I've been wondering the function of the metal ring before..Anyone ? -Lauri

Post only from work...too busy afterwards.. - Lauri

Damn good vid !! Any way to download it ? Would really like to... - Lauri

Posted this to the general forum too... I've used that #1 method, stowing the excess to the lower elastic toggle keeper, it's a good and easy method, but it have to be stowed just like that, pointing from the rig to the canopy, if it's stowed pointing from the canopy to the rig, and you accidentally pull the toggle trough the loop of the excess line, it gets knotted around the elastic..

I've always used that #1 method, stowing the excess to the lower elastic toggle keeper, a rigger showed me when I bought the gear about a year ago. It have to be stowed just like that, pointing from the rig to the canopy, if it's stowed pointing from the canopy to the rig, and you accidentally pull the toggle trough the loop of the excess line, it gets knotted around the elastic..

Beware, a load of jumpers just might end up like the hogs... - Lauri

Bellystrap loosens as the main comes out of the container, so it's not dangerous I don't know about the chest strap though, it should stay put... - Lauri

Yeah, but it can be redirected, I followed sangiro's advice to use the advanced spam filters, and never had any spam in my inbox..(they go to spam folder) Just go to e-mail -> options -> Advanced filters, and make a filter like this: If subject is like *****SPAM***** then send to spam, and make a spam folder. There is an option to delete the spam right away, but I prefer that it goes to a folder, as it can accidentally delete something else (not that it has happened,but...)

If it's possible, it would be cool to have the same kind of notification as when you have a new private message (as shown in the pic) It would help slow modem users, and when you're hanging out at the forums, you'd know when you have a new message in the inbox as the page refreshes... - Lauri

No.because there's no need to, it was banned because it exeeds the maximum pulling force of 10 kg. (without peeling) It does yes, but afterall she was an experienced jumper, I think she would have pulled if she could... When the shit hits the fan, things aren't always going as planned... And the ripcords are banned 'til further notice, they will publish another safety bulletin as soon as the investigation is finished...So they aren't necessarily banned for good... - Lauri Edit to add a link to the translated bulletin

Maybe there is that kind of an alti somewhere, but I doubt that they are manufactured anymore...maybe you could find one if you could track down an accuracy hero from years past... But you don't need that kind of an alti anyways, the altitudes of the landing pattern are just guidelines, you don't have to be exactly at 100 m when you start your final approach...and as you jump more, you'll learn to judge altitude with your eyes, and the alti reading becomes very simple... Just keep popping to the dropzone, the plane is broken though, but not for long anymore...

Yeah, and the mike's HARD tandem opening is REALLY hard ! But quite funny with the sound effects.. - Lauri

So you need to take pics and post them here, because our plane is broken and there's quite a few people at the dropzone... - Lauri

Yeah, sad but true..Didn't look into talkback for a week, 294 new messages, and I didn't find any boobies, just one shiny ass, but no boobies.. So, what happened ? - Lauri

It's a sports TV-channel...

Well, I have a gath helmet, but only because I didn't have any more money at the time, 'cause I had to buy gear and alti and stuff...If you want a piece of bucket plastic to cover your head from the wind, thats ok, but I think your intentions are a little different... I'll buy a bonhead as soon as I have the money...

It's like it yeah, but can't be it, because in the soul flyers vid there's a cameraman jumping in front of him...but it is a paraglider in the soul flyers vid then... edit--> yeah, the harness was the final tought about it, but first it was the longer lines, and when it's opening it seems to have a big hole in the center, but when looked closely, it's a very very elliptical canopy...
